Chapter 623: Chapter 277: Body Cultivator—Peak of Foundation Establishment!

Are there demon beasts lurking in these depths?

To survive in such a deep place, it might be a tier-three demon beast...

Normally, the waters near the Water Dragon Sect have been thoroughly inspected akin to a sea and mountain search. Any demon beasts with a cultivation higher than the late stage of tier two have been slain by a single sword strike from the Water Dragon Sect’s Golden Core Zhenren.

There shouldn’t be any tier-three demon beasts here.

However, this place is extremely deep, there might be some hidden demon beasts.

Standing firm, Ji Yuan felt as if he were bearing the weight of a Divine Mountain, with relentless pressure converging upon him, causing his blood and qi to flow vigorously despite his lack of movement.

This place isn’t suitable for practicing Pile Skill anymore; the force generated by moving will disperse too much. He’s worried about collapsing the platform and alarming the demon beasts deep in the water.

Standing in a pile position is more appropriate.

But to stand in a pile pose here, the pressure endured is immense, so much that even lifting his hands becomes extremely difficult for Ji Yuan.

Let’s not even speak of striking a pile stance.

Additionally, without being able to breathe, Ji Yuan’s face reddened from being stifled.

Pressure, damn it, this is exactly what pressure feels like!

Ji Yuan gritted his teeth tightly, not daring to open his mouth, nor using any magic... otherwise, a single Water-Resistant Talisman would resolve everything.

This descent into the water was intended to toughen his physique.

Thus, what was previously achieved effortlessly now required nearly half a cup of tea’s time. Ji Yuan, according to the descriptions in the Nine Revolutions Profound Yang Skill, managed to strike a pile pose.

And just at the successful moment, the blood and qi within him seemed to come alive. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Or like boiling water.

Flowing vigorously, Ji Yuan even heard the sound of his blood rushing, akin to the gushing of a stream.

Perhaps because his blood qi was too hot, the surrounding lake water began to heat up, and even closer, bubbles started to form.

The already pressured physique was further stimulated by the Pile Skill.

Ji Yuan felt his internal organs were nearly bursting under pressure, leaving his body unable to move. At this moment, he desperately wanted to use magic, to cast a Water Avoidance Technique on himself, or retrieve a Water-Resistant Talisman from his Storage Bag to relieve his pain.

But in the end, he relied on sheer determination to withstand it.

And it was just after enduring for one more breath that he vaguely felt his rapidly circulating blood qi had broken through some shackles, surmounting some barrier.

The already swift-flowing blood qi accelerated further at this point.

The blood qi itself began influencing his skin, strengthening it.

Meanwhile, the burdening pressure eased, and Ji Yuan, who had to stoop before carrying this "mountain," suddenly straightened his back.

Physique... finally broke through!

For a moment, Ji Yuan sensed his steadily strengthening body, and a smile finally emerged on his face.

Nothing is more joyful than the enhancement of one’s power.

But then, he suddenly sensed ripples in the water before him, as if something was swimming toward him.

...No good, could it be that tier-three demon beast coming up!

Ji Yuan quickly sent forth the Divine Sense he had reluctantly retracted, and it hadn’t yet reached a hundred meters, but he discovered a tier-two mid-stage turtle demon beast escaping from the depths of the abyss, like its life depended on it, even using its demonic magic to propel the surrounding water, aiding its escape.

In an instant, it swam next to Ji Yuan.

Coincidentally, even while fleeing for its life, it seemed to think Ji Yuan was something tasty, and, despite escaping, it tried to bite him.

Thus... Ji Yuan moved.

He first stepped back to avoid the turtle demon’s jaw.

Up close, he could even see some meaty strands remaining between the turtle demon’s teeth, wondering what it had just eaten.

As he dodged, he pressed his left hand upon the turtle demon’s head, forcefully.

The turtle demon struggled, instantly pinned against the stone platform.

Perhaps the speed was too fast, for its entire body sprang up, as if impaled into the ground.

Ji Yuan watched its shell crash toward him, retreated a step, sank his body, and then unleashed a peak punch with full force.

"Boom—"

With a muffled sound emitted, the surrounding waters trembled.

And the turtle demon, taking the full brunt of the attack, trembled its whole body.

Its shell remained intact, but its internal organs shattered instantly.

One punch... death!

Ji Yuan hadn’t expected that his casually delivered punch would possess such power.

A formidable tier-two mid-stage demon beast, noted for its defense, a turtle demon beast nonetheless couldn’t endure a single punch. What divine power this must be!

Just as Ji Yuan considered storing the corpse in his Storage Bag, he suddenly paused.

Without a second thought, he cast a Water Avoidance Technique.

Then, the core embryos of seven Canglan Swords hovered around him, Dragon’s Whisker Shield guarded him, allowing his body to float as he looked toward the depths.

Thus... he saw a pair of ghostly green eyes.

Large.

Very large.

He felt as if they were as big as millstones.

Just being stared at by the demon beast’s eyes, Ji Yuan experienced a heavy pressure, even feeling the hair on his back erect.
